Fever Alexia 19 Inch Long Brown Blunt Cut Wig with Fringe

Firstly, this wig was presented beautifully. The box it came in is lovely and gives a high quality feel to the product. Inside, the wig was nestled in pretty pink tissue paper (not a pretty pink kind of girll, but the presentation really can't be faulted).

It came with a 'wig cap' that was basically just a cheapo hair net. I hadn't brought cap to go with it, so this was a bonus. But I'd put my fingers through it before getting it on so I pinned my hair up and used an old stocking instead. It also came stuffed out with white tissue paper to hold it in shape. One day I will get a head to store it on but until then it's happily living in the box. So far (1 month on) this hasn't caused any problems.

Trying to get this wig on the first time was a little tricky, but it was the first time I've ever put one on (comedy wigs aside), so I'm taking the blame for that. It's been much easier since. Pinning my hair up is a nightmare. It sits about halfway between my bust and belly-button so there's a lot to get out of the way. I do find that this can make my head look a little boxy with the wig on because my hair underneath distorts the shape of things a little. Hopefully better supporting acts, clips and cap, will sort this out. Please note: This is not a product fault. It's only caused by my existing hair. When put straight over 'down' hair or on a short haired head it sits perfectly.

The wig itself is very high quality. It almost feels like real hair. I got some friends to give it a stroke and most couldn't tell it wasn't. It moults much less than real hair as well, although there have been a few strays so far the hair seems quite secure. During short wears I haven't noticed any droppage, but over the course of a whole day/evening I noticed 3 or 4 on me.

The crown is far back so there is no parting as such. This was one of the appeals of this design because a false looking parting is an instant giveaway of fake hair. I did find I had to trim the fringe a little to get the wig to sit comfortably and have everything where it should be, but as people are all proportioned slightly differently, this can only be a good thing because there is enough play in it to make slight modifications.

Despite the hair hanging beautifully when down, I have found it's a little thin for up dos, although with the blunt fringe down suits it better anyway.

I haven't tried heat styling yet as the style was one of the reasons I opted for this wig over some others. A slight kink is appearing around my ears, which I will try straightening out soon. On a very low heat of course, so if any issues arise I'll come back and let you know.
